Loki Created By Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, And Jack Kirby
With Special Thanks To Doug Braithwaite • Sal Buscema • Al Ewing • Don Heck • Lee Garbett • Kieron Gillen • Mark Gruenwald • Ralph Macchio • Jamie Mckelvie • Keith Pollard • Walter Simonson • Mark Brooks • John Buscema • Kurt Busiek • Dave Cockrum • Olivier Coipel • Paul Cornell • Steve Englehart • Mike Gustovich • Carlos Pacheco • J.

Loki was created for the Marvel Universe by Stan Lee, Larry Leiber, and Jack Kirby for the Thor comic book Journey into Mystery #85 in 1962 – though Stan Lee had written a very similar version of Loki for Venus #6 in 1949.
Walter Simonson created the Time Variance Authority with Sal Buscema for Thor #372, paid homage to long-time Marvel writer/editor and continuity expert Mark Gruenwald as the TVA staff were all clones of Gruenwald. The look of Owen Wilson's character Moebius is modelled on Gruenwald.
Kieron Gillen wrote the revived Journey Into Mystery series drawn by Doug Braithwaite that established the young Loki. Gillen also wrote Young Avengers, drawn by Jamie McKelvie that gave us the YA version. Al Ewing wrote Loki, Agent Of Asgard, drawn by Lee Garbett, that established the genderfluid Loki.
Joe Michael Straczynski and Olivier Coipel, creators of the stories published in Lady Loki: Mistress Of Mischief as part of the Siege event, which saw Loki take possession of a body intended for Lady Sif.
Steve Englehart, co-creator with Sal Buscema of Roxxon in the comic books, the multi-national conglomerate of Big Oil, Big Media, Big Pharma, and Big Politics, which has a retail outlet in the manner of Walmart in Loki, namely Roxxcart.
And no, obviously not Enchantress, but the modern version of her was hidden in a person called Sylvie, and that's enough for her creators, Paul Cornell and Mark Brooks, to get added to the credits.
The Time Keepers first appeared in Thor #243, created by Len Wein and John Buscema. And Alioth was created by Mark Gruenwald and Mike Gustovich as a matter-destroying cloud that Ravonna Renslayer accidentally released while trying to expand Kang the Conqueror's empire of Chronopolis.
Because yes, you waited long enough, yes, Kang The Conqueror was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. as well as Rama-Tut and Doctor Doom. Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema created the early Avengers tales that saw the Avengers summoned through the void to the end of time.
Steve Englehart and Dave Cockrum created the Giant-Size Avengers issues that established his lineage.
Avengers Forever, the twelve-issue Kang series, was created by Kurt Busiek, Roger Stern, and Carlos Pacheco – though Jesus Merino appears to have been left off. The 1999 series saw Kang aids the Avengers as part of his 'rebellion' against his apparent destiny and reveals that the other version of himself, Immortus serves the Time Keepers, with his previous interactions with the team having been motivated by an effort to keep humanity limited to prevent them from developing into a threat to the universe… there are, of course, parallels.
Forever indeed because we now also know there is a Loki Season Two to come…
